The Antichrist And AI

Artificial Intelligence.

ChatGPT.

The WEF, known as the World Economic Forum and ESG. Economic Social Governance.

The world is moving faster.

It used to take years before a new technology would be up and running in order to have a meaningful effect on people.

Then there’s global digital currency.

To be able to make transactions faster, among other financial center plans for absolute rule and totalitarian governance.

In other words, dominion of driving real time transactions.

China is already leading the way of totalitarian rule with real-time reaction.

The one thing that may never be real time is delivery of products unless you go back to the store.

Just like the way it should be.

Just imagine at home you make a transaction and it’s delivered real time.

But why is this important?

Revelation 13:16-17

“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

AI, ChatGPT, the digital dollar, among other quickly developing technologies, are tools that the Antichrist may use.

On the religious front, we see the one world religion, headed by Catholicism in a decades long pursuit of ecumenism, forming up.

Muslims, Jews, and Christians (Protestant and Catholics) coming together. Much like Nimrod calling all men to join ranks, religiously and economically.

As far as AI is concerned, it’s “god like.”

If you speak against government, without warning, your accounts are confiscated. Your property seized. Your life is ruined.

The one thing that we can count on is that should the Antichrist have this tool, AI will be controlled.

But only by the Antichrist.

The threat of death motivates people to do things.

If worshipping the beast was just a suggestion, many will not comply.

HINT HINT. COVID vaccinations, lockdowns.

This was practice with real life implications where people were really affected.

But should you refuse, even after the Antichrist shuts down your accounts, you will be killed.

Revelation 13:15

“He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.”

The whole purpose of the Antichrist’s ability to rule the areas of religion and the economy, points back to religion.

Then there’s the deliberate indoctrination and sexual exploitation of children.

What’s its purpose?

To raise up the most militant anti-God generation ever known.

Worship!

Matthew 4:8-9

“Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

However, who’s missing?

satan.

During all of these things, it seems to appear that the worship satan sought from God the Son, seems non existent.

satan isn’t in Jerusalem in the Temple on the Temple Mount. The beast and false prophet are there. See Daniel 9, Matthew 24, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Revelation 13.

But satan is driving every wicked thing.

At one time, I believed that satan was doing everything in his power to prevent being thrown into the lake of fire.

I no longer hold this belief that has no Biblical support.

Everything is being done to gather all nations to surround Jerusalem.

satan’s intent is to rule earth since he can’t rule heaven where the Lord God rules.

Look at satan tempting Christ with kingdoms IF Christ fell down and worshipped satan.

“Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

The world doesn’t realize it yet, but satan is just using people to achieve two goals.

One. Worship.

To get it, he’s willing to use everyone.

But beyond the worship, His second goal beyond worship is to kill God.

He was so obsessed with killing God that killing His Son would be the first step.

Get the Son, then get the Father.

But he was so obsessed that he never imagined God the Father fulfilling His promise in raising His Son from the dead.

1 Corinthians 2:8

“…which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”

But in the Second Coming of Christ, satan will be defeated.

Not once (cast out of heaven), not twice (the resurrection of Christ), not three times (cast into the bottomless pit for 1K years), but for the fourth and final time (cast into the lake of fire forever).

satan will never get the showdown he worked hard for.

Defeating God the Father.

So don’t loose heart.

These things as AI, ChatGPT, and crypto currency, among other technological breakthroughs, are tools that the Antichrist will use to harness the manpower to attempt to defeat Christ in Revelation 19.

satan’s ultimate defeat is surely to come to pass.

God’s Wrath To Come

But first. The Lord promised to send Elijah to the earth.

Malachi 4:4-6 (NKJV) “Remember the Law of Moses, My servant,
Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,
With the statutes and judgments.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

In 2 Kings 1:7-8 (NKJV) as Elijah was on the tail end of his earthly ministry, there was a description of Elijah.

“Then he said to them, “What kind of man was it who came up to meet you and told you these words?” So they answered him, “A hairy man wearing a leather belt around his waist.”
And he said, “It is Elijah the Tishbite.”

The OT Elijah had a leather belt around his waist.

But we also remember that Elijah was taken up to heaven on a fiery chariot by whirlwind.

2 Kings 2:1 (NKJV) “And it came to pass, when the LORD was about to take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.”

2 Kings 2:11 (NKJV) “Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.”

The question must be asked.

When will Elijah come back?

The spirit, not the person of Elijah or the spirit of his earthly ministry was prophesied to return to the earth as John the Baptist, the cousin of the Lord Jesus, who would be the “forerunner” of the Lord.

At the great miracle on Mt. Carmel, the prophet Elijah prayed a very powerful prayer.

1 Kings 18:36-37 (NKJV) “And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, “LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word. Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that You are the LORD God, and that You have turned their hearts back to You again.”

Then when you see the prophet Malachi give these words………..

“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

We see the purpose of the Lord in the forerunner of the Lord Jesus.

To turn the hearts of the children of Israel back to the Lord.

At the point of the last OT Book, the next 400 years, the Lord wasn’t heard.

It’s commonly called “The Silence Between The Testaments.”

Elizabeth was to have a son being that she was barren.

Luke 1:5-7 (NKJV) “There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years.”

Being that Elizabeth was of the lineage of Aaron, the brother of Moses, this makes John the Baptist of the lineage of Levi.

Here we see a very powerful parallel.

John the Baptist of the Levites, and Mary & Joseph of Judah because Joseph, betrothed to Mary, came from the lineage of David, which makes the Lord Jesus, the Son of David.

Therefore, it required that God performed another miracle.

When Mary went to Elizabeth, Elizabeth was with child and John leaped within the womb of Elizabeth when the greeting by Mary was given.

Luke 3:2-6 (NKJV) “…while Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,

as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying:
“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the LORD;
Make His paths straight.
Every valley shall be filled
And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight
And the rough ways smooth;
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.’”

Please note that Isaiah wrote this around 740 BC.

The astonishing accuracy of the Scriptures is of importance. The Word of the Lord must come to pass and it did.

Notice what John the Baptist was wearing.

Matthew 3:1-4 (NKJV) “In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying:
“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the LORD;
Make His paths straight.’”
Now John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.”

A leather belt.

Ok. It’s powerful that God’s Word came to pass in bringing John to the earth as the forerunner of the Lord Jesus. But when you see that the OT Elijah had a leather belt and then John the Baptist having a leather belt, folks, this is amazing.

But look at the affects of the ministry of John the Baptist.

Matthew 11:7-15 (NKJV) “As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see?

A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. For this is he of whom it is written:
‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You.’

“Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

Now when the Lord Jesus revealed the Elijah who was to come, you can’t help but sit there and be in astonishment of God bringing His Word to pass.

The hearts of men in repentance of sin were violently pressing into the kingdom during the ministry of John the Baptist.

So much so that the people were confused into thinking that John was the Messiah, but John had to warn them that he wasn’t the Messiah.

Talk about turning the hearts of the children to the Father.

So let’s look at the fulfillment.

Isaiah prophesied around 740 BC for Elijah to return.

Malachi prophesied around 444 BC, that Elijah would return.

John the Baptist was born.

Both men wore leather belts and their ministries of repentance paralleled each other to turn the hearts of men back to the Lord.

But this is about God’s wrath. Right?

Matthew 3:7-8 (NKJV) “But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance…”

The gospel ministry lacks conviction today because of a desire to leave out unpleasant truths of why man is facing the wrath of God. We alter the Scriptures because it puts a flood light on our sins. So some of us replace the Scriptures so that it doesn’t appear harsh.

Yet. The Scriptures still remains the same.

No matter how you leave out important information, the Lord always raise up true preachers who will not leave out the wrath of God in complete gospel preaching.

The wrath of God is sent for one reason.

Man refuses to believe that the Lord would issue punishment on sinners for committing sin.

Remember the flood of Noah?

God told Noah to build and ark because the end of all men had come.

This is wrath because man refused to repent of wickedness.

Genesis 6:5-8 (NKJV) “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

So the LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.”

Everyday, man woke up to do wickedness, sin, evil, and perversion.

They had no intent to seek the face of the Lord to find grace except Noah.

The long-suffering of God lasted for 100+ years, then the flood came.

For 40 days and nights, the waters covered the earth. Killing everything except who was in the ark. 8 souls, and two of each animal and birds. The fish were at home.

Remember Sodom and Gomorrah?

The men in the city were sodomites, men having sex with men.

The Lord poured His wrath out on the sodomites.

To this day, if one were to go to the location of Sodom and Gomorrah, you will find sulfur balls that when lighted, it burns a foul smelling odor, and burns a blue flame.

It’s been debunked that an earthquake was the source of the sulfur balls. There was never evidence of a volcano in the area. So if anyone suggests that the fire and brimstone came from a volcano, there’s no archeological evidence of a volcano spewing lava in the region.

The fire and brimstone came from heaven. Just as the Scriptures declared.

But the point is wrath was poured out during Noah’s flood, and the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Now you may be saying that Noah’s flood and Sodom and Gomorrah happened in the OT.

We’re in the dispensation of grace and we’re no longer in the dispensation (period) of the law.

Correct, but the next time God will pour out His wrath on man will be during the final week of Daniel’s prophesy. The Lord Jesus alluded to this in Matthew 24.

Matthew 24:15-22 (NKJV) “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.

And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.”

The abomination of desolation is Daniel chapters 7, 9, and 12.

Paul prophesied that this would happen in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11, and 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12.

The fulfillment of the wrath of God is covered extensively in Revelation chapters 5 through 19.

The Lord is returning but it is with wrath that He will return before establishing rule with an iron rod.

Matthew 24:29-31 (NKJV) “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

Jude 1:14-15 (NKJV) “Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

Revelation 6:12-17 (NKJV) “I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.

Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!

For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

Revelation 19:11-16 (NKJV) “Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns.

He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.

Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations.

And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.

He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.”

Be sure that He will pour out His wrath in full strength.

Scripture Isn’t Enough?

What SOME people are saying is that Scripture from the Lord in the Bible isn’t enough. 

There must be more.

Genesis 3:1-5 (NKJV) “Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, 

God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.'”

Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

What did God say?

Genesis 2:15-17 (NKJV) Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

God never said anything about “….nor touch it…”

In order for satan to be successful, there must be a departure from Scripture.

satan lied to Eve so that she could distrust what God said and trust what satan said through craftiness. satan had to also disguise himself so that he could be successful.

Today, there’s so much deception.

2 Corinthians 11:3-4 (NKJV) “But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it!”

“…The simplicity that is in Christ” is found in the simple Scriptures.

But notice what Paul said in addition.

“preach another Jesus whom we have not preached……receive a different spirit which you have not received……..or received a different gospel which you have not accepted…..”

Did you see these three additional things other than the “…simplicity that’s in Christ?”

Are we to abandon hungering after God? Thirsting after God? No, not in properly worshipping Him in spirit and in truth.

What does it mean to worship in “spirit and in truth?”

Spirit means life, truth is found in the Word.

The Samaritan woman that came to the well wasn’t worshipping in spirit and in truth because she was dead in sin and lived a lie.

She was a practicing adulterer.

It was only afterwards that she was talking to the Messiah that she left her water-pot and told the whole town that there’s a Man that revealed to her everything that she’s ever done. That Man is the Messiah.

The One prophesied BY THE SCRIPTURES that would come.

Her sin was exposed by the Messiah. The Son of the living God. And the whole town came out to see the Messiah. The Son of the living God.

What was the true results?

John 4:39-42 (NKJV) “And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.”

So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

And many more believed because of His own word.

Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”

They heard and believed because of His own word.

Scripture first.

Scripture last.

Scripture always.

Scripture alone.

As I was watching a documentary on Oral Roberts, how he had started his ministry, he was a poor man out of Oklahoma. And when he had tuberculosis, shortness of breath, he claimed that the Lord healed him. As I was watching him minister as they brought the timeline of his ministry, you could see a departure of Scripture, or more so the twisting of Scripture.

Then when you watch several other ministers (Kenneth Copeland and others), you see the same thing.

A clear departure of Scripture with stories that fail to line up with Scripture.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (NKJV) “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.”

We all love story tellers because we like to hear a great “inspiring story.” But an inspiring story can have the wrappings of emotion from a very charismatic personality.

Paul said….1 Corinthians 2:1-5 (NKJV) “And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God.

For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”

What’s supposed to happen?

The Word must be preached without a person’s charismatic personality getting the credit and getting in the way.

2 Peter 3:14-18 (NKJV) “Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation

—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”

What Paul was teaching was difficult to understand because he received the NT by revelation of the Holy Spirit.

Galatians 2:1-2 (NKJV) “Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me. And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means I might run, or had run, in vain.”

But here’s the advantage.

Paul ran what he received by “…those who were of reputation.”

What he received was further expounded upon in 2 Corinthians 12:1-6.

After time, after the emotions subside. After the shouting, the praying, the crying, when the emotions return to normal, what are we left with?

Sobriety in the Scriptures.

But the Scriptures isn’t enough, you say?

People will go from city to city, country to country, and state to state just to experience what they may have had experienced in previous “revivals.”

After coming down from the rafters. After descending from the heights of the clouds.

We all return to the sobriety of the Scriptures.

I dare say that many of them will never sober up in the Scriptures because many of them are chasing after an experience that will eventually pass.

You’re then compelled to return to the sufficiency of the Scriptures.

Then there’s the vultures of false spiritual movements that have failed and came to a crashing thunderous explosive halt with sexual scandals and unBiblical occurrences.

Only to resurrect themselves from the dumpsters of embarrassment, to take advantage of young people that may not be on to their game.

2 Timothy 3:13-17 (NKJV) “But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures,

which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

Paul never instructed Timothy to pursue experiences.

Paul essentially told Timothy that he will find sufficiency in the Scriptures.

Blaspheming The Revival

Matthew 12:22-32 (NKJV) “Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw. And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”

Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”
But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.

The Unpardonable Sin
(Mark 3:28–30)
“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.“

Sadly, you have many misguided well intentioned believers that quickly call a revival a move of God AND when anyone is skeptical of what took place in Wilmore, Kentucky, they’ve blasphemed against the Holy Spirit.

They read this passage and apply speaking against the phenomenon.

But as one trusted source put out that in the Asbury College website, the campus always have a revival in either March or February which as you could see, unusual prayer meetings takes place on these months (see it here). But the thing that’s common is the months of either February or March. Not at any other month in the years.

A non spontaneous move of the Spirit took place on a scheduled day called Pentecost.

Pentecost is the Feast of Weeks, celebrated by the Jews 50 days after Passover.

The Jews have 7 Feasts that they celebrate.

The Feast of Preparation/Unleavened Bread.

The Feast of Passover.

The Feast of Firstfruits.

The Lord Jesus fulfilled all four of these Feasts on the day it was scheduled.

The only Feasts that remain to be fulfilled by the Lord Jesus is….

The Feast of Trumpets.

The Day of Atonement.

The Feast of Tabernacles.

According to Zechariah 14, the Feast of Tabernacles will be fulfilled when the Lord returns to save Israel after the Great Tribulation of 3.5 years is completed (see Matthew 24:15-28 and Revelation 19:11-21).

But getting back to the subject.

We see that there’s skepticism with what took place and we should be skeptical.

When you accuse believers of having skepticism and just receive the experience, that’s not what we should do. Then when we tell people that they’ve “blasphemed the HOLY Spirit” for not accepting, without investigating the phenomenon, the fact is, that they’re offended that you don’t accept their declaration that it’s a move of the Spirit.

In other words, “Shut up and accept it.”

But another thing that has happened is the the infighting within the Body of Christ reached a point where we’re “biting and devouring” one another.

Galatians 5:13-16 (NKJV) “For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!
Walking in the Spirit I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

It’s vicious out there and people refuse to disengage in hostilities against one another.

Just what satan intended. The Lord told His disciples a very important thing.

John 13:34-35 (NKJV) “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Then John, having learned from the Lord, gave us this passage.

1 John 4:7-11 (NKJV) “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”

Investigate and scrutinize everything.

1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 (NKJV) “Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.”

We must test everything that we see so that we stay centered on the Scriptures.

Why?

Because in recent times, frivolous moves came and the results were devastating.

We have to exercise caution because false prophets are out there and they’re ready to take advantage of the gullible.

Please read Proverbs 14:15.

So if we remain prudent, don’t wrongly accuse people of exercising caution.

There’s nothing wrong with skepticism and scrutiny.

In fact, if we’re transparent and honest, we welcome it.

Blaspheming The Revival

Matthew 12:22-32 (NKJV) “Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw. And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”

Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”
But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.

The Unpardonable Sin
(Mark 3:28–30)
“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.“

Sadly, you have many misguided well intentioned believers that quickly call a revival a move of God AND when anyone is skeptical of what took place in Wilmore, Kentucky, they’ve blasphemed against the Holy Spirit.

They read this passage and apply speaking against the phenomenon.

But as one trusted source put out that in the Asbury College website, the campus always have a revival in either March or February which as you could see, unusual prayer meetings takes place on these months (see it here). But the thing that’s common is the months of either February or March. Not at any other month in the years.

A non spontaneous move of the Spirit took place on a scheduled day called Pentecost.

Pentecost is the Feast of Weeks, celebrated by the Jews 50 days after Passover.

The Jews have 7 Feasts that they celebrate.

The Feast of Preparation/Unleavened Bread.

The Feast of Passover.

The Feast of Firstfruits.

The Lord Jesus fulfilled all four of these Feasts on the day it was scheduled.

The only Feasts that remain to be fulfilled by the Lord Jesus is….

The Feast of Trumpets.

The Day of Atonement.

The Feast of Tabernacles.

According to Zechariah 14, the Feast of Tabernacles will be fulfilled when the Lord returns to save Israel after the Great Tribulation of 3.5 years is completed (see Matthew 24:15-28 and Revelation 19:11-21).

But getting back to the subject.

We see that there’s skepticism with what took place and we should be skeptical.

When you accuse believers of having skepticism and just receive the experience, that’s not what we should do. Then when we tell people that they’ve “blasphemed the HOLY Spirit” for not accepting, without investigating the phenomenon, the fact is, that they’re offended that you don’t accept their declaration that it’s a move of the Spirit.

In other words, “Shut up and accept it.”

But another thing that has happened is the the infighting within the Body of Christ reached a point where we’re “biting and devouring” one another.

Galatians 5:13-16 (NKJV) “For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!
Walking in the Spirit I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

It’s vicious out there and people refuse to disengage in hostilities against one another.

Just what satan intended. The Lord told His disciples a very important thing.

John 13:34-35 (NKJV) “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Then John, having learned from the Lord, gave us this passage.

1 John 4:7-11 (NKJV) “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”

Investigate and scrutinize everything.

1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 (NKJV) “Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.”

We must test everything that we see so that we stay centered on the Scriptures.

Why?

Because in recent times, frivolous moves came and the results were devastating.

We have to exercise caution because false prophets are out there and they’re ready to take advantage of the gullible.

Please read Proverbs 14:15.

So if we remain prudent, don’t wrongly accuse people of exercising caution.

There’s nothing wrong with skepticism and scrutiny.

In fact, if we’re transparent and honest, we welcome it.

4 Types Of Ground In Revivals

The parable of the sower is perhaps, one of the most profound teachings of the Lord Jesus.

Luke 8:11-15 (NKJV) “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.

Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.“

As in any place, the street preaching, prisons, houses of worship, homeless shelters, tent city, abortion clinics, it doesn’t really matter.

The preacher is the one that sows the seed of the Word of God.

The seed falls in four places.

Wayside. Stony, Thorny, and Good Ground.

Even in revivals, these four grounds are present.

Not everyone will be saved.

Ask yourself a series of questions. Those on the wayside, did anyone get saved?

How about the stony ground? It appeared that someone got saved but look at what happened.

They receive the Word with joy or with emotion, but they have no root. It’s hard for the seed to penetrate stone or rock. Those on the rock believe for a while and in time of temptation, they fall away. In other words, because they had no intention of having the Word penetrate their heart, their flesh and mind yield to temptation.

In that brief time that they had joy when the Word was preached, they didn’t follow through with their commitment to Christ. Here’s why?

The Holy Spirit brings conviction of sin (see John 16:8-11). The purpose of conviction is to bring an awareness of the penalty of sin in a profound way (see 1 John 3:4-6). You recognize that you’re in grave danger that if you die right now, and you haven’t repented and placed faith in Christ alone, you will go to hell.

When the gospel is preached and this element of conviction is missing or rejected, this is one of many reasons why people stand where they stand (wayside, stony, thorny ground).

You see. Death can happen to anyone, to everyone, at any time. Death seals a person’s eternal fate.

Then you have the ones that are on thorny ground. Thorns choke the Word. Preoccupied with cares (what’s going to happen to me, how am I going to get along in life, etc.) riches or chasing after wealth and riches, pleasures of this life, like porn, sexual immorality, masturbation, power over people, etc. And they bring no fruit to maturity.

What does it mean to bring no fruit to maturity?

Fruit is produced but it’s premature and can’t be picked for harvest into the barn.

These types of ground reveal the various people in various heart conditions after the Word is cast.

The ones on good ground having heard the Word with a noble heart, an excellent heart. A heart that paid strict attention to the instructions of the commands of the Lord Jesus, they keep the Word that was taught and they bear fruit with patience.

In other words, they persevere under the circumstances. They don’t allow the devil to take the Word like the ones on the wayside. They don’t yield to temptation. They don’t let the thorns of life choke the Word with cares, riches, and pleasures of this life.

They press into the kingdom to be pleasing to the Lord.

Whatever sin was holding them back, they forsake it to obtain mercy (see Proverbs 28:13) and then they keep the Word at all costs.

The gospel, in it’s purist form brings Godly conviction to compel sinners to repent of sin and place faith in Christ alone, then they obey the commandments that the Lord Jesus taught for the rest of their lives.

It takes commitment, dedication, obedience, and perseverance to keep the Word.

So even if people call the Asbury chapel revival a success, we really won’t know the measure of success until the fruit is brought into the barn. We won’t know the true score until the wheat is brought into the barn. We won’t know until our name is written in heaven and we arrive there.

Remember. We’re also in the season of apostasy. Meaning that people may want to change their mind and return to the world.

1 Timothy 4:1-2 (NKJV) “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron…”

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 (NKJV) “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”

Defection from the faith and the falling away is still a part of the last days that we’re living in and we must never lose sight of this.

Why?

Look back at the parable of the sower, and look carefully at those on the wayside, stony, and thorny ground.

They all seem to have been in Christ.

Then, after a while, whether immediately, or for a short while, they left Christ after a powerful revival.

satan at the Grammy Awards

It should be no surprise that satan is worshipped in full display. The red lights, costumes, and the immorality surrounding their out in the open agenda.

The song performed at the Grammy Awards?

“#Unholy.”

During the entertainment segment, Mr. Smith and a transgender performed a song called “Unholy.”

With red costumes and sexually provocative dancing and lyrics, the agenda of satan was on full display. The collaboration was sending a very clear message as CBS pointed out.

It was pure unashamed wickedness on display. Lewdness and sexual perversion to provoke God. To dare Him and thumb their noses at God in complete defiance to His holy name.

They were ready for “worship.”

It’s the blatant in your face worship of the devil.

True believers worship God in Spirit and in Truth (See John 4:24). In holiness, righteousness, and with clean hands and a pure heart (see Psalm 24-3-5).

Smith and a transgender singing as the devil while perverted dancers act like devils.

“Smith and transgender singer Kim Petras delivered a raunchy performance of “Unholy,” during the music awards show, which was blasted by conservatives on Twitter.”

Smith was dressed as the devil while dancers acting like demons seemed to bow down in worship.”

This pales in comparison to the wickedness yet to come.

Romans 5:20-21

“Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

The other thing that we shouldn’t be surprised is the categories, nominations, and awards that were presented to Christian artists. It’s considered an honor for the world to recognize Christian artists?

When the Lord confronted the religious leaders of His day, many of the believers of the Jews were secret believers. They all knew that the Lord Jesus was the Messiah as prophesied in the Scriptures, but the Lord noted something that was true of them.

John 12:42-43 (NKJV) “Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.“

The gist is clear that many in the Christian music industry loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

You see. If you speak a word of commanding men everywhere to repent, you’ll be put out of their “synagogue” or the Grammy Awards.

If we really believe the Bible, we wouldn’t do the things we do in defiance of the will of God.

As long as your music uplifts, inspires, encourages, and is positive the way the world wants it, you’ll be nominated. Many performers, in lies of hypocrisy, “Thank God” to appease the conviction of the law that God inscribed on their hearts (see Romans 2:15-16).

What’s the true price for believing in the Lord Jesus?

Mark 8:34-38 (NKJV) “When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

No matter how many times you use the name of the Lord to appear religious, and then use expletives, if you’re a true born again believer, you would never intermingle the holy lifestyle with sin.

The worldly award show is exactly what is depicted as far as awards are concerned.

1 Corinthians 9:25 (NKJV) “And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.”

What Paul was speaking about is that in a athletic competition, a person that competes is self controlled and trains in such a way that they win an earthly crown, but true believers in Christ have self control and train to win a heavenly imperishable crown.

In like manner, the world only gives out crowns or awards that only marks the excellence in worldly things. It perishes with them.

Beyonce and her worldly song “Break My Soul” won a Grammy. No surprise with her demonic seductive acts that only lures men and women into sexual immorality. Of course there would be others but as believers, we need to understand that the world is at war against God. The world is hostile towards God because they hate God.

And believers that join with the world of sinful entertainment are at war with the Lord as well.

James 4:4 (NKJV) “Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”

Then JayZ put out a song called “God Did.”

According to the NY Post, “The smash hit earned three nods (nominations), including Song of the Year, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Performance.”

Reading the lyrics is tough to do, and I won’t post it, but it’s a combination as expected of the world and the kind of god they want to serve. It’s laced with expletives intermingled with God.

Should we expect anything less?

Absolutely not.

A few decades ago, the Grammy’s wouldn’t even think about nominating Christian artists but it’s now a staple.

Finally, I can’t say if any other Christian artists appeared or that their representatives were there to receive the Grammy Awards but here’s the list of winners and nominees.

Contemporary Christian Music Performance. Winner: Maverick City Music, Kirk Franklin.

Gospel Album: Kingdom Book One, Winner: Maverick City Music, Kirk Franklin.

Contemporary Christian Music Album: Winner: Breathe, Maverick City Music.

Roots Gospel Album: Winner: Aristocrat of Bands:The Urban Hymnal.

Gospel Performance/Song: Winner: Kingdom, Maverick City Music, Kirk Franklin.

Kirk Franklin appeared to have been legit at the start, but turned for the worst.

Especially with a lyric that he used “The Lion and The Lamb will bow down to the goat.”

We all know that the goat is satan especially when you see the Baphomet and other occult symbols.

Millions of professed believers will applaud the Grammy’s and because their senses aren’t trained to discern both good and evil (see Hebrews 5:12-14 and 1 Peter 2:1-2), they’ll think nothing of this.

That’s why 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 is so important.

We must remember the parable of the Tares in Matthew 13:24-30 and also, the fact that not everyone will enter the kingdom of heaven according to the Word of the Lord in Matthew 7:21-23 and Revelation 22:14-15.

Ephesians 2:1-3 (NKJV) “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.”

They’re blinded by the god of this world, walking the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (NKJV) “But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.”

With the writing of this blog, it’s clear that I will be labeled as a hater.

I am a hater.

Proverbs 8:13 (NKJV) “The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate.”

If you’re a believer that’s trapped in the snare of the devil, taken captive at satan’s will, this word is for you……

2 Corinthians 6:14 – 18, 7:1 (NKJV) “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.

For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness?

And what communion has light with darkness?

And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?

And what agreement has the temple of God with idols?

For you are the temple of the living God.

As God has said:
“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
Therefore
“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
“I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the LORD Almighty.”
Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”

Sodomites, Not LGBTQI+

DISCLAIMER: THIS ISN’T HATE SPEECH. No where in this blog will you find hatred of people. Hatred of sin and the devil is right.

It’s revealing the perversion that’s in the world. It’s revealing the perversion that’s infiltrated and intruded into the Body of Christ.

Paul said in Ephesians 5:11-14 (NKJV)

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says:
“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”

1 Timothy 1:8-11

“But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.”

Leviticus 18:22

“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.”

Genesis 18:20-21 

“And the LORD said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know.”

Genesis 19:4-5

“Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally.”

Romans 1:26-27

“For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.”

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 

“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.”

The Lord in His Word NEVER called them LGBTQI+.

Neither should we.

Now we should point out that we can use their acronym to identify them, but we must clarify that the Bible uses no such acronym and expose their sinful deeds.

Back in the 70’s, we were young and we thought that what they were doing is funny. To call a man a sissy is a deliberate smear to make a person feel less than a man. But today, all such words is considered inappropriate. It’s regarded as hate speech.

In many instances, you will be held in contempt at the bench of sexual immorality. You will lose your job, privileges, rights, and even your life for vilifying sodomites.

They’ll force you to apologize, go through sensitivity class, pay fines, make all sorts of promises to never spew hate speech ever again in hopes of returning to good graces with the world of abomination.

When Christians use LGBTQI+, we give them an appearance of an endorsement of their abominable sin.

It gives their heinous sin credibility, respect, and acceptance.

Even when, I’m our mind, no such credibility, endorsement, acceptance, or respect was offered or issued. We call adulterers and adulteresses, fornicators, and other sexual immorality what the Bible called them. 

Nothing less.

Why?

Romans 3:19-20

“Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”

Why?

1 John 3:4

“Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.”

People will not stop calling them LGBTQI+.

Even their own crowd have a difficult time of remembering all the letters associated with sodomy. For fear of leaving out certain sins is considered a slight against a group that want’s to be included (hint hint INCLUSIVE).

And CHRISTIANS won’t stop calling them “gay, homosexual, or bisexual” either. But I will.

We must remember that they will use fear tactics to get us to cease and desist. In certain segments of the world, you face imprisonment, hefty fines, and embarrassment. You face being harassed for the rest of your life.

But we must also remember Daniel, Mischael, Azariah, and Hananiah. 

They didn’t fear them because their hell isn’t greater than the hell and lake of fire that God made for the devil and His angels.

They feared God above man and they were rewarded and protected by God.

So what ever things men will do to the righteous, after they kill you, there’s nothing left for them to do.

Matthew 10:28 (NKJV) 

“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”

Luke 12:4-5 (NKJV)

“And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!”

DISCLAIMER: THIS ISN’T HATE SPEECH. No where in this blog will you find hatred of people. Hatred of sin and the devil is right.

Proverbs 8:13

“The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.”

The Judgment Of The Jews

THIS ISN’T ANTISEMITISM OR HATE SPEECH TOWARDS THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

THIS IS THE BIRTH OF CHRIST AND THE WARNING FROM THEIR OWN OT TORAH. ALONG WITH NT PROPHESY.

Before we discuss the judgment that will come upon the Jews, it’s necessary to point out that they’ve missed the Messiah when He came the first time.

The entire Jewish community, with the exception of the Messianic Jews, have rejected the New Testament and Isaiah chapter 53.

A clear indication that the Lord Jesus, though indisputably is from the lineage of David, is rejected.

Even His signs, wonders, and miracles weren’t enough to persuade Jews that He is the Son of God.

In the end times, many have declared that they’re the Messiah just as Jesus warned us.

Matthew 24:5 (NKJV)

“For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.”

Even the Antichrist, assisted by the false prophet, will have messianic qualities with false signs, wonders, and miracles to deceive even the very elect (Israel).

When the Messiah came the first time, the Jews didn’t recognize Him even though the Scriptures clearly pointed Him out before He came.

The first indication of the coming Messiah is recorded in Genesis 3:15.

Genesis 3:15 (NKJV)

“And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”

Paul confirms this in Galatians 3:15-16 (NKJV)

“Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man’s covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it. Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ.“

When the Lord God called Abram out of Ur of the Chaldees, it was the beginning of the process of manifesting His promise.

The second Scripture further indicates that the Messiah would come.

Deuteronomy 18:17-19 (NKJV)

“And the LORD said to me: What they have spoken is good. I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him.”

Then when it was time, the Lord would be born in Bethlehem just as the Scriptures prophesied.

1 Samuel 17:12 (NKJV)

“Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse, and who had eight sons. And the man was old, advanced in years, in the days of Saul.”

If it weren’t for Boaz meeting Ruth, Jesse wouldn’t have been born.

Ruth 4:18-22 (NKJV)

“Now this is the genealogy of Perez: Perez begot Hezron; Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminadab; Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon; Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed; Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.”

Micah 5:2 (NKJV)

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be Ruler in Israel,
Whose goings forth are from of old,
From everlasting.”

Isaiah 9:6-7 (NKJV)

“For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.“

Here’s another prophesy from Isaiah.

Isaiah 7:13-17 (NKJV)

“Then he said, “Hear now, O house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign:

Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good.

For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by both her kings.

The LORD will bring the king of Assyria upon you and your people and your father’s house—days that have not come since the day that Ephraim departed from Judah.”

Now the fulfillment of what the Lord God promised in Genesis 3:15 becomes a reality.

Luke 1:26-33

Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.

And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”


But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.

Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.

He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.

And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

Matthew 1:18-25 (NKJV)

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “

Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.”

So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name JESUS.“

Then you have the census ordered by Rome to force Mary and Joseph to return to Bethlehem to be counted.

Luke 2:1-7 (NKJV)

“And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.

Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.

So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.”

Matthew 2:1-6 (NKJV)

“Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”

When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:
‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
Are not the least among the rulers of Judah;
For out of you shall come a Ruler
Who will shepherd My people Israel.'”

Note the last verse here that it quoted Micah’s prophesy.

Then after the Lord Jesus spoke of the rivers of living water, this is what the crowd said of the Lord Jesus.

John 7:40-44 (NKJV)

“Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, “Truly this is the Prophet.” Others said, “This is the Christ.”

But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee? Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”

So there was a division among the people because of Him. Now some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.“

Why was it necessary to discuss the birth of Christ?

Because the Jews rejected Him.

John 1:10-14 (NKJV)

“He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.“

During His ministry on earth, the Jews failed to read the Scriptures.

John 7:40-42

Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said,

“Truly this is the Prophet.” Others said, “This is the Christ.”

But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee?

Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”

Then the Lord Jesus gives the Jews a parable.

Mark 12:1-12 (NKJV)

“Then He began to speak to them in parables:

“A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country.

Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that he might receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the vinedressers. And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

Again he sent them another servant, and at him they threw stones, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated. And again he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some.

Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But those vinedressers said among themselves, ‘

This is the heir.

Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ So they took him and killed him and cast him out of the vineyard.

“Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do?

He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the vineyard to others.

Have you not even read this Scripture:
The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the LORD’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

And they sought to lay hands on Him, but feared the multitude, for they knew He had spoken the parable against them. So they left Him and went away.“

Psalms 118:22-24

“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the LORD’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day the LORD has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.”

Isaiah 28:16

“Therefore thus says the Lord GOD:
“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily.”

I’ve spent a lot of time showing these Scriptures because we need the whole picture as to why the Lord will judge the Jews. That’s why the Lord Jesus said…..

Luke 24:44-49 (NKJV)

“Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in

the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.”

And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

And you are witnesses of these things. Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

The Psalms reveal the Messiah in Psalm 22.

Daniel’s prophesy is pivotal.

Daniel chapters 2, 7, 9, and 12 is key.

When the Temple is built in Jerusalem, for 3 and a half years, the Jews will be able to worship on the Temple Mount as the Antichrist will enter into a covenant with the Jews and the world. Then in the middle of the week, the Antichrist will cease sacrifices and offerings. Then Revelation 13 comes into play.

Then the Whore of Babylon will kill many Jews and true believers that were saved during the great tribulation.

The Lord Jesus warned of this in Matthew 24.

In addition to the judgment of the Jews, the earth will receive the wrath of God.

The seven seals on a single scroll, the seven trumpets, and the seven bowls.

Those that receive the mark of the beast will be judged.

The Jews that received the mark of the beast will be judged.

Then after these things, in Revelation 19, the Lord Jesus will return with great power and glory as He said He would in Matthew 24.

Even to this day, the Jews reject the Messiah. And part of this rejection is because of their rejection even of the Torah. Their religious festivals are an abomination to God.

Here’s a taste of their traditions that the Lord rejected.

Hasidic Judaism.

There’s tons of video on Jewish Mysticism. 

It’s also known as Hasidic or Jewish Mysticism.

It’s a combination of the Torah (OT Jewish Bible), and the Talmud (Jewish traditions passed from generation to generation).

So here’s the info on the Talmud from Wikipedia.

“The entire Talmud consists of 63 tractates, and in the standard print, called the Vilna Shas, there are 2,711 double-sided folios.[5] 

It is written in Mishnaic Hebrew and Jewish Babylonian Aramaic and contains the teachings and opinions of thousands of rabbis 

(dating from before the Common Era through to the fifth century) 

on a variety of subjects, including halakha, Jewish ethics, philosophy, customs, history, and folklore, and many other topics. 

The Talmud is the basis for all codes of Jewish law and is widely quoted in rabbinic literature.”

They’re considered ultra orthodox.

Why mention this?

Mysticism and Tradition.

Matthew 15:3-6

“He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? 

For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 

But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, 

“Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”— 

then he need not honor his father or mother.’ 

Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.”

And we wonder why Daniel chapters 7, 9, and 12, and the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ will happen.

Wonder no more.

Luke 21:20-24

The Destruction of Jerusalem
(Matt. 24:15–28; Mark 13:14–23

“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near.

Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her.

For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations.

And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.”

The Jews from 1 Samuel 8, rejected The King.

Pilate made a sign to be installed on the cross.

“This Is Jesus King Of The Jews.”

Yes, He will return to save Israel as Jesus, King Of The Jews.”

David E. Taylor & The Book Of Enoch

This is a new teaching because I can’t seem to find on YouTube what I shared. It’s possible that I just shared a FB post and not have done a complete teaching on this. But the quote from the Book of Enoch was a fascinating quote from the Book of Jude, the half brother of the Lord Jesus.

Matthew 13:55-56 (NKJV) “Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?”

But here’s the quote from Jude quoting from Enoch.

Jude 1:14-15 (NKJV) “Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

But you’ll be trying to find any statement from David E Taylor about ungodliness. Perhaps about Hebrews 11:5-6, using faith but not about righteousness. I could be wrong but….”

A good explanation of the quote is found here.

But getting to David E. Taylor.

He’s using this Book of Enoch to deceive many people, and sadly, but predictably, many people were deceived.

You could see this in his video presentation here.

The Lord Jesus warned us of false prophets leading up to the great tribulation in Matthew 24:4-14 (NKJV) “And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.

And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

Then Paul said in 2 Timothy 3:13 (NKJV) “But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.”

The one distinguishing feature of false prophets and teachers is when they present mystical things that will never be in harmony with contextual teaching of the Scriptures. The words they use to deceive will always carry mysticism.

They’ll wrongly divide the Scriptures.

That’s why Paul told Timothy to preach the Word. And ALL Scripture is given by inspiration of God (see 2 Timothy 2:15 and 3:16-17).

And Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 (NKJV) “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”

So when they’re off, we know why.

2 Timothy 4:1-5 (NKJV) “I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;

and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”

Notice the phrase “because they have itching ears.”

Itching means “…desirous of hearing something pleasant.”

Notice “Turned aside to fables.”

Fables are myths.

In that video, David Taylor uses the book to deceive the people into believing that they will have an encounter with Jesus. Visibly seeing Jesus. But the ulterior motive is to get money out of people.

2 Peter 2:1-3 (NKJV) “But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them,

and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.

By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.“

His intent is to exploit you for covetousness. His intent is to twist the Scriptures with deceptive words to financially take advantage of you.

2 Peter 2:13-14 (NKJV) “They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children.”

Again look at what Peter said……”…enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices….”

In other words, they teach themselves or are taught of others in covetous practices going after and enticing unstable souls.

An unstable soul is an individual that’s gullible.

Proverbs 14:15 (NKJV) “The simple believes every word, but the prudent considers well his steps.”

So pass the word and warn each other of this deceptive false apostle, prophet, and false teacher.

He’s been involved in scandals in the pass too, you could see here.
